Wood's Powr-Grip has taken great care to produce the most reliable vacuum-operated
handling device available. Nevertheless, mistreatment or misuse may damage a hand
cup or otherwise create conditions which could cause the hand cup to fail, resulting
in an unexpected release. The following warnings are offered to help users avoid most
potential hazards.
•
Do not use the cup with loads that exceed the load capacity.
•
Do not use the cup to support a person.
•
Do not place the pad face against surfaces which could damage the sealing edges.
•
Avoid conditions that could cause the cup to slip or to disengage prematurely, such
as: contaminants, cuts or scratches in the pad face or load surface; applying the cup
to porous materials; or applying pressure against the pad edge.
•
Do not use the cup to lift when the red line is visible. If the red line reappears
frequently, discontinue use and follow the instructions for general maintenance and
testing.
•
Do not allow anything to interfere with free movement of the plunger while the cup is
attached. This could prevent the red line from warning the user of vacuum loss.
•
Do not touch the valve release lever while lifting.
•
Do not attach 10" [25 cm] diameter cups (models N6450 & N6300) to thin, fragile materials.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals (such as solvents or gasoline) or unauthorized rubber cleaners
and conditioners to clean the cup. See www.WPG.com for more information.
WARNINGS
Failure to observe WARNINGS could damage
the cup or the load, or cause injury to the user.
